A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 1 episode 2: Dunk’s quest
We now have a great sense of what is ahead entering A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms season 1 episode 2 — and yes, we expect it to be really fun.
Yet, amidst all the humor that we’re seeing with Dunk and Egg, there is a rather meaningful story here. We are talking here about a character here in Ser Duncan the Tall who will do more or less whatever he can in order to prove himself. That is a major part of what makes this series so meaningful, especially since everyone looks down on him. Heck, do we even know if he was actually knighted? That is another question within itself.

Speaking to Variety, showrunner Ira Parker does give us a great sense of how we should envision Dunk’s arc for the season — and how it will evolve with each passing week
… Dunk’s journey in Season 1 is no different than somebody going out to New York or L.A. from their little hometown, thinking “I’m gonna go and try and make it.” Then you end up taking a bus there, realizing you have nothing, spending all your money on some sh—y car that breaks down all the time, and you can’t afford rent, so you’re sleeping in your car and you’re going to auditions and trying to make it work. This is the experience that a lot of people have, whether you’re going into the arts or if you’re going into anything that is highly competitive like knighting can be. Dunk finds himself at the very bottom of this. He doesn’t have the training, the name, the money, he can’t afford to fail.
We also tend to think that what Parker lines up here is exactly why viewers could love Dunk so much. This is a show that is all about relating to a hero and understanding exactly what it is that they are fighting for.
